Rowland Consummate Phono stage
I bought this phono stage some 12 years ago to tide me over, but only used it for about 6 months when I consigned it to the loft. Recently I recalled that i still had it and had it checked out and then plugged it into my existing system. Wow…quite surprised at how good it is. In its day (Mid 90’s) it was compared to the Vendetta Research and given that phono stage’s near legendary status, that is praise indeed. This phono stage has had a separate power supply (240v) made for it (originally it would have taken is power from accompanying line stage) so makes it much more flexible.
The owners manual (included) explains its functionality in more detail but I will summarise;1. Variable loading for each channel from 80 to 900 ohms as well as 47K (fixed) via external counters2. Fixed loading via plug in resistors inside the chassis. The two resistor blocks are visible in the picture3. Balanced inputs and outputs as well as RCA SE4. Variable gain and loading to match the Line stage; set inside the chassis(Dip Switches)
In very good condition apart from a couple of small nibbles on the front edge hardly visible. Very rarely available, especially as a stand alone unit. I do have the original packaging which is in good condition. Obviously i can demonstrate in my system to anyone interested.
